Fundraising Goals
As an amateur sport without Olympic recognition, the USFA receives no yearly funding. All funds are raised by the USFA and its members through donations and sponsorships. This year, donations will help to support our men's and women's national programs as they prepare to compete at the 2026 Pan-American Championships in Chile.
​
Funds received by the USFA are also allocated towards efforts to grow the sport and support existing programs. This includes, but isn't limited to:
-
National Team Programs - Support our national teams with equipment, apparel, travel and training costs. Additional funds will be used for player workshops and development, outreach initiatives, and equipment.
-
Youth Development - Support youth development initiatives within schools, communities, and universities.
-
Administrative Costs - Help support ongoing costs of our association such as IFA (international) membership costs, insurance, infrastructure, and other operational costs.
-
Awareness & Education - Help support costs of conventions, presentations, school visits, supplies and materials.

What is Fistball?
Fistball is a fast paced net sport with similarities to volleyball and tennis. It is played on a large grass court 3x the size of a volleyball court.
Fistball is played 5 vs 5. Each team is allowed 3 touches to return the ball over the net. The ball may bounce once before each touch, and players are only allowed to use a single arm or closed fist to contact the ball.
